If you’ve been wondering why so many crocheters are featuring enticing Granny Square patterns… it’s because August is officially Granny Square Month. Throughout the month you’ll find celebrations, sales, stories of how people starting crocheting with the granny stitch, and more.
In case you missed Granny Square Day on August 15th, you can still enjoy the celebration and the sharing. Head over to Instagram and search for Granny Square Day. You’ll find exciting and inspiring videos and photos of colorful and unique creations, made with Granny Squares.
One of the most colorful collections of granny squares and clothing made with granny squares I found was on the Instagram account of: Sara MacLeod of @crochet_in_the_glen. Talk about colorful and joyful!
Have fun exploring and feel free to reply and let me know about a Granny Square or Granny Stitch patterns you’d like us to feature!
A Clever Crochet Tip: Take a Picture of Your Project
This crochet tip comes from Penny Smith, who shared this brilliant idea in our discussion forum. Thank you Penny.
When starting a new project I take a picture of the yarn, pattern and hook. This is to help you remember what you need, to finish a project, if it gets set aside. Make sure you can read the pattern name and the hook size.
